Longest Lineage part
So this weekend as I was looking at my babies I wondered if there was a single part that was shared.
Is there a part on a 911 that started on the original and has made it all the way through the 997.2 or 991? It could be a screw or bolt, or a weird light for the seatbelt.... If not, what is the longest connection, part wise, on any 911? Just curious.... t.

I know of two or three things........
that have been the same on all Porsches. The first is a part, the Schrader tire valve. The second is a measurement, the spacing for the license plate bolts. A third one would be the spelling of the name "Porsche" on the cars. Anyone got anything else?

the oil drip control tube on the MFI has a VW part number on it from the factory.
go through the PET and see how many parts start with a '4' or '7' Bill K

The backup light switch is common to every year 911, 356, 914 and I think ALL other, including many VW.

FWIW, the oil reservoir drain plug washer is the same for the pre-A 356 (1950) as well as for the 997 Turbo (2011).

Wow, this is the kind of inane trivia that is so cool to people like me, and yet my wife completely doesn't get it.
Thanks for the responses.... t.

Luggage boot light, I know spans all the 65-89 911, and is used as the license light on a vw, have to track down how many years. Pretty sure I found it on a BMW 2002 also....

Transmission Bolts.
They still use 4 bolts for attachment and they are still 17mm unless using flange nuts- then 15mm. my 56 speedster's trans is connected the same as the 911's only now the bolts are longer. |
